Riven Skies

Feyborn

Before the War of Crimson Ash both the elves and the eladrin had unified culture and language. Following the War, a splinter group of Eladrin from Tiir’Ath, calling themselves Eld’rahiin, a word for their people from an extinct elven dialect, have turned on their elven brothers. What followed was a civil war of genocide. During the First Purge all the elves that did not flee Tiir’Ath were murdered. Following the First Purge was the Second Purge, an attempt to extend the genocide past the Tiir’Ath borders, and extend it to all non eladrin. This purge ended quickly, as the Tiir’Ath armies were forced to fight against neighboring forces that were ready for war.

Elves and eladrin both value highly the beauty of nature, many believing themselves to be the pinnacle of that beauty. They take great pride in their craft, whatever it might be, and feyborn goods are sough after across the world.

Eladrin
On average eladrin are slightly shorter than humans. They are slim, and look athletic rather than muscle bound. They have fair complexion and straight, fine hair that is most often white, silver or pale gold. They have no facial or body hair. Their ears are long and pointed, and their eyes are pearly and opalescent orbs of vibrant blue, violet, purple and green, lacking pupils. When eladrin reach puberty the race’s link to arcane energies manifests in two ways, they can manifest wizard cantrips, and faintly glowing golden pattern appear on their skin. These elaborate patterns, often mistaken for tattoos, most commonly appear on the face, hands and forearms, and lower legs and feet. Occasionally they cover more of the body.
